Stunted in soil

Greetings everyone. I’ve been cultivating for over ten years. I started with coco and have stuck with coco until now. I wanted to mix it up a little and do a soil grow with organic nutes. I popped eight beans on Oct 8th . Germination went well . I transplanted to a solo cup full of FF ocean and that where things just stopped. The cups were in a small room with decent temps and humidity ( a few degrees warmer than I wanted and a little dryer than I wanted ) . I know have them in a room that is 73 degrees and 57% RH , which I realize is a little low. I use an ebb and flow system and typically my humidity is not a problem. Actually , sometimes it’s too high. I’m guess the soil is giving off less moisture ? With that said , all eight plants ( four different strains ) are only 3-4” tall and they look rough. I haven’t watered them for a week because I thought I had over-watered but that doesn’t seem to be helping. I’m pondering if these are worth trying to save or just start over. Any advice would be appreciated.

Soil does not work well in an Aircube system. Organic nutes don't work well in it either. For over 4 weeks growth your right they are not doing well...up to you but personally I would start over with coco or hydroton in the system and non organic nutes.
Sometimes OF is a bit hot for sensitive seedlings...but if your coming from coco I would guess overwatering was the problem.

Had the same problem last winter, turns out the soil was a little hot, but I waited and they eventually came out of it. Yours actually look better than mine did! I ended up with a killer harvest, just took longer.

Yeah. I agree. I remember a few months ago. I had an extra bean pop so I threw it in a solo cup. Watered it a little bit and left it alone. It looked the same as these plants do and I literally didn’t water it for three weeks. It reminded me of a plant that was only about 2 inches tall.

That’s interesting. I knew you didn’t have to water Soil as much but this is kind of ridiculous lol. I think I’m going to write it out and see how they do and I will provide an update in a few weeks for anyone that is interested.
